Harden's says
Lawrence and Emily Hartley ran Mustard on this site for three years, and have now transformed it into Le Petit Citron, featuring a classic French menu with a Provencal twist.
Harden's survey result
Summary
This “dependable neighbourhood bistro”, on a busy stretch linking Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush, combines classic gingham tablecloths with a menu inspired by Provence – favoured holiday destination for proprietors Lawrence & Emily Hartley, who previously operated the site as Mustard.
Summary
“A nice and buzzy local bistro” that’s attractively styled and “a good choice in the area” (a barren stretch of trafficky road, north of Brook Green). The formula is classically French, including a handy prix-fixe option.
Summary
On a slightly tatty stretch of the Shepherd’s Bush Road, this well-appointed French brasserie (with the same owners as Covent Garden’s Joe Allen) is something of a surprise. The formula is a classic Gallic one and it’s “very good value”.
Summary
“To the Brook Green site of Mustard (RIP) and before that Café Rouge (longer RIP) comes this attractive and inexpensive new French bistro”. “Not much has changed since its predecessor” (same owners, who also own Covent Garden’s Joe Allen) – “the food’s decent” and comes at “very reasonable prices”.

Le Petit Citron Restaurant Diner Reviews
"I’m looking forward to returning to Le Petit Citron next month. My friend and I went there after Xmas shopping at Westfield in December. Starting with a cocktail and then on to the set lunch menu of delicious garlic prawns with sourdough, followed by steak frites or hake with cous cous for the main. We both had the pot au chocolat for pudding. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing and the service was great."
